The Background

Next Steps Development was set up due to a lack in services being offered in North Devon. We are based in a large property on one of the main roads into and out of Barnstaple.

The idea was originally set up by parents to help their son, who was born with a rare chromosome disorder, resulting in a variety of conditions and illnesses. This young man attended the local school for children with special educational needs; however, concerns were raised when he reached the age of eighteen and it became apparent that his options were limited as to what he would be able to do upon leaving school.

​Attending college was an option that raised even more concerns, and it was decided, after much deliberation, that there really was only one choice left for the family. So, as parents who wanted only to see their son achieve purpose and fulfilment in life, it was decided that he would help his dad in the family business.

​A few months later, when attending a meeting for small businesses at the local college, it became evident that this family was not the only one facing dilemmas of this kind. It was clear that there was a local need to help these young people gain purpose, motivation and assistance in their lives, and the family was inundated with requests from parents who had heard of the family’s success for their son, and had hopes of achieving the same for their own children.
